What are terms under names in posts?
I just joined this board. I have been reading posts for awhile before I actually joined and I wondered what the terms under the names meant (headmaster, dinobot, seeker). When I joined I noticed that my name has Protoform under it. What does this mean?

It's your "rank" and it depends on the number of your posts. I think with less than 10 posts you are a Protoform, then you become a Minibot(?), later a Seeker etc. etc. Don't ask about all the existing ranks, I think there are so many that nobody remembers...

That's interesting! Originally Brendocon replied something like "Protoform, Micromaster, Seeker, Headmaster, I don't remember them all", that's why I said you shouldn't ask. I never saw the edited message...Originally posted by Sixswitch:

Aii, I thought it was a bit odd c'sidering you posted that thread. Oh well
Wha'sa Lurbie? I is confused.
Lurker is someone who never posts but reads everything, and a newbie is a new person who just started posting... right?
How can you be both.

Some lurkers post as well - but only twice a month or something like that.Originally posted by Sixswitch:

Not long ago one of those lurkers started a "Lurkers Unite!" campaign and suddenly lurkers popped up everywhere and posted things like "*lurklurk*". I was one of them. Soon the regular members were very annoyed and started to get angry, so the whole lurker thing was dropped again. I couldn't decide if I should go back to my lurker status (aka stop posting again) or have a new start as a newbie. Mirage suggested I could be something inbetween (lurker+newbie=lurbie) and since I liked that idea I put it in my signature.
Considering that I've got almost 100 posts by now, I'm not really a lurker/newbie/lurbie anymore, but I like the word, so I'll keep it.

You forgot to mention my lurker-killing thread, where I killed lurkers with my trident, and ate them. I still have the campaign advertised in my sig.Originally posted by Amnesia:

Until Amnesia cleared that up, I was sure it's some australian beasty, they got them mighty strange creaters down there, ya knaw... ah lake dat word to though.
welcome A3 (hey it's shorter that way), to answer your qusetion-
protoform- a hybernating state for a tf, before he has an altmode and a personality.
Micromaster- almost humen size TFs, usually come in groups of 4 or 2 combiners.
Seeker- a deseptico jet, most of the con ran&files are (or reflector clones).
Headmaster- it's a guy that runs a school, or a binary bonded TF, it's binary partner is located in it's head while in robot form.
Dinobot- an autobt that transformes into a dino-alt-mode, has lower inteligence than most TFs, thus being a primitive.
Powermaster- anothe binary bonded type of TFs.
Triple changer- a TF with 3 modes, usually robot and 2 alt modes( one arial or navel and one teran).
Gestalt-a TF combined out of other TFs, usually a team.
Unicron- The chaos bringer, destroyer of worlds, or if you like , the largest TF built by a genious monkey.
Matrix keeper- some one like Ultra magnus, posseses the matrix but can't use it or gain from it.
One with the matrix- any of the autobots leaders, at their time(might have got it wtong), or alternativly, a TF that died, usually an autobot, who joined the matrix.
Primus- the creator of the TFs in the comics, and their god.
costume rank- ask honer of rank, they'll be happy to oblige you with an explenation
[/if you read this far, you must be board, go read brendocons stuff, no that's funny]

Maybe it's 'cause of all those punchs to my head, but I'm starting to see yer point.

Eh, I'm not afraid of Satan. My trident's much cooler than his. Besides, I'm the avatar of Primus. I'll make him my b*tch if he trys anything.
